People in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Hu and Han respected together

Chapter 319 Preparations before the war
In the fifth year of Chuping, that is, in 194 A.D., someone suggested that the yuan could be changed, but Li Yao did not agree. He defeated Liu Yan last year and the Xiongnu this year. After the enemies were dealt with, it would not be too late to change the yuan.

Mei County!

Carts of grain were first transported from Yizhou to Hanzhong, then from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, and finally stored in the semi-abandoned Mei Palace.

This time the Huns were not in Monan and Mobei, but in Bingzhou, Xihe, and Meiji north of Guanzhong. The Southern Huns who surrendered at first were placed here.

At that time, just after the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the army began to be abolished on a large scale, but the abolition was too clean. There were not many county soldiers and county soldiers.

The army pays attention to inheritance, bringing the old to the new, which can most steadily improve the army's combat power, but a group of recruits, training them out, and then going to quell the turmoil, how can there be so much time.

It is also because of this that the foreign Hu people hired troops and were fully utilized. The Western Han Dynasty also had Hu people's troops, but they were not used as frequently as those used in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Under this background, the southern Xiongnu became the imperial court's barrier in the north, used to resist the barbarians on the grassland, and there was no problem at the beginning.

There is no need for the court to waste money and food, time and effort to recruit soldiers and raise soldiers, and let the Huns take over if they have something to do.

Even for a long time, the Han Dynasty could completely control the Huns, and the Xiongnu Shanyu was appointed by the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

But this is not a long-term solution, especially since Huanling, the Huns have rebelled again and again, and they have been fierce again and again. With Xihe as the center, the surrounding five or six counties have all become the Huns' grazing land.

Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yanmen and other places can still be preserved. The main reason is that the land of the Sanjin Dynasty is full of ravines and mountains. It is not a place for cavalry to gallop.

At this time, even Li Yao was in the palace. The food was related to the success or failure of eliminating the Xiongnu, and he must personally check it.

Looking at the small wheelbarrows one after another, pushing the food continuously, Li Yao couldn't help but nodded, that's how small wheelbarrows should be used.

Otherwise, if you really rely on your shoulders to carry [-] shi of grain, half of it will have to be spent on the road.

Xun You followed Li Yao, looking at these small unicycles, marveling at their usefulness, and feeling puzzled at the same time:
"General, you are too obsessed with eliminating the Huns. Over the years, the Huns have repeatedly committed rebellion and should indeed be punished. However, in my opinion, it is very difficult to completely eliminate them!"

Li Yao turned to look at him, then said with a smile:

"Gongda, you don't understand this. First, I don't want to leave behind the hidden danger of the Xiongnu. Second, our Li family's strength in Liangzhou is not only not weaker than the Xiongnu, but stronger than the Xiongnu!"

Xun You still knows a little bit, because just ten years ago, Li Wenhou and Beigong Boyu pulled out 10,000+ rebels. If it weren't for Lu Zhi's extraordinary ability, even Chang'an would have been captured by them.

This also caused Xun You to complain in his heart:
"Starting as a rebel, he turned out to be the first-class official of the big man. This world is really chaotic!"

At this time, Li Yao suddenly asked:
"Gongda, what good advice do you have for attacking the Huns?"

When Xun You heard this, he seemed to be returning to his job, frowning and thinking, and after a while, he gave an answer:
"Now the Xiongnu are not as ferocious as they were hundreds of years ago. Their ferocity has been greatly weakened. As long as they surround the Three Ques and leave a way of life, they will run towards the way of life. Only then can they be wiped out more thoroughly and cleanly. Otherwise, the beasts that are cornered will become extremely vicious!"

Li Yao nodded when he heard the words, he approved of Xun You's idea, and then said:

"Gongda, you will also go with me in this battle. It is a shame to put you in the rear. Experience the Li family's iron cavalry and see who can stop it!"

Xun You was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said:

"Follow the order!"

……

Beidi County, the most northwest end, there is a famous mountain here, Helan, and to the east of Helan is the Xitao Plain, one of the three Hetao Plains.

The other Qiantao Plains and Houtao Plains are located on the northernmost edge of Bingzhou. The entire Hetao Plain is very large, but the most fertile ones are Xitao, Qiantao, and Houtao Plains.

There are many miscellaneous Hu tribes living here, but Li Yan, Li Lin, the two brothers led [-] cavalry and killed them mightily from Wuwei County.

Wherever they pass, it's either surrender or die, what kind of husk can fight against them, even a round of their charge can't stop them.

Before the big river thawed, they went directly to the other side of the big river, and took Fuping, the county government of Beidi, together.

Speaking of Fuping, this is also an important crossing of a big river. The Silk Road is divided into two lines, the north and the south. The south line goes through Longxi, passes through Jincheng, goes to Wuwei, passes through the Hexi Corridor, and then enters the Western Regions.

It has been almost ten years since the Han Dynasty lost control of Liangzhou. The local forces and the miscellaneous forces can still control this place before the Li family ignores it. After the Li family is ready to occupy this place, they all have to give way.

Two brothers, [-] cavalry, [-] belonged to the left and right cavalry, and [-] dead Hu people. These slaves, in order to get rid of their status as slaves, they fought bravely to be the first on the battlefield.

All in all, having seized the plain at the foot of Helan Mountain, they are already gearing up and ready to send troops to merge the state at any time.

Spring is not suitable for fighting, but this one is even more deadly for nomads. They survived the winter, the horses are weak, and the cattle and sheep are thin, which is definitely enough to kill people.

The Li family was half farming and half nomadic, and they still had grain to eat, and Li Yao transported grain from Yizhou in order to completely wipe out the Xiongnu.

But all of this is unknown to the Bingzhou Huns. If you look at it completely apart, there are actually many tribes. First of all, the Southern Huns are divided into the Shanyu Headquarters, the Zuoxian King’s Tribe, and the Right Xianwang Tribe. After further subdivision, there are more large and small tribes headed by the Huyan Tribe, the Xubu Tribe, the Qiulin Tribe, and the Lan Tribe.

In addition, the most powerful and most famous is the Tu various tribes. From the Xiutu tribe, it evolved into the Xiutu tribe, and then from the Xiutu tribe to the Tu various tribes. Correspondingly, they have been wandering around the northern border of the Han Dynasty, and their language pronunciation is also changing.

This tribe has always been dishonest. At the beginning, King Hunxie and King Xiutu surrendered. King Xiutu suddenly repented.

Up to now, the Tuge tribes have hooked up with the Zuoxian King's tribe and the Youxian King's tribe. Xihe Taishou Xingji and Bingzhou Governor Zhang Yi were all killed by the Tuge tribes.

As for the Xiongnu troops wandering in the Han Dynasty, they were led by the two brothers Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan. Their father, Qiang Qu Shanyu, was killed by the Huns rebellion below.

That's why Yu Fuluo and Huchuquan couldn't go back to Bingzhou Xiongnu, so they could only wander around and plunder everywhere.

　Insufficient ability, unable to balance rest and recuperation, the combination of plots between foreign wars, simply beat the Huns first, and then recuperate for a few years, the emperor's wedding is a foreshadowing...
